The Strain: Book One of the Strain Trilogy by Guillermo Del Toro and Chuck Hogan

A Boeing 777 jet arrives at JFK, stops dead and sits on the tarmac in darkness and silence.  Dr. Ephraim Goodweather, head of a CDC rapid-response team, boards to investigate.  The mysterious being that seemingly killed every passenger aboard is the subject of this chilling trilogy about a virus which brings the dead back as vampires.  In a pawn shop in Harlem, holocaust survivor Abraham Setrakian has met this evil and may have the knowledge to destroy it.  After a riveting start, the story degenerates into killing after killing, as Eph’s son, ex-wife, and friends are soon in danger.  This one is still a must for all horror fans and will soon be a major motion picture.
